  1. ATLAS October Data Transfer Functional Test Alexei Klimentov, BNL GDB meeting CERN, Nov 8th 2006

  2. Data Transfer Functional Test • The goal is to have system test • A coherent data transfer test between Tier-1 and Tier-2s for all clouds, using existing SW to generate and replicate data and to monitor data flow. • Data generated by ATLAS MC production SW • Organized in DQ2 datasets • Datasets : an aggregation of files plus associated metadata • Datasets is a unit of storage and replication • Performance evaluation is not yet the goal of the test • We consider functional test as a part of ATLAS DDM operations activity and run the test regularly • Two tests have been conducted in Sep and Oct 2006 A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  3. October Data Transfer Functional Test Test Scope : • Data transfer from CERN to Tiers for datasets with average file size 400 MB. This step simulated the flow of ATLAS data from CERN to the sites • Step 1 : Data transfer from CERN to Tiers • a : Data transfer Tier-0 to Tier-1 • b : Data transfer from Tier-1 to Tier-2s • Step 2 : Data transfer from Tier-2s to Tier-1. To simulate MC production data flow. • Large file transfer. Transfer files larger then 2GB from CERN to Tier-1s and then from Tier-1s to the selected Tier-2s • 1 reference dataset with 3.1 GB files • 9 datasets (one per cloud) with 4.5 GB files • Data transfer between regional centers • Tier-1/Tier-1 data transfer • “foreign”Tier-2/Tier-1 data transfer A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  4. ATLAS Centers Participated in the Test A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  5. Data Transfer From CERN to Tiers A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  6. Data Transfer Between Regional Centers A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  7. Large File Transfer (*) transfer was blocked probably by FTS server in LYON (**) SRMDiskOnly = SRM dCache + gridftp dCache + standard disk access A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  8. Problems and Uncertainties with transferring and storing files larger than 2 GB • CASTOR : • Large files support requires CASTOR SRM-2.2.9-4 and CASTOR client 2.1.1 (O.Barring) • dCache • PNFS can only represent a data file’s size accurately up to (2G-1)B; beyond that, the file size is shown as 1. Enstore knows, stores and uses real file size; • 2+GB file copying from dCache to the local file system using dccp fails • 2+GB file copying from dCache to the local file system using globus-url-copy and srmcp works correctly • DPM • Data transfer failed to two DPM SE (BU and LAPP). We cannot confirm that both cases are related to the SE flavor. The test need to be repeated A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006

  9. Test Summary and Conclusions • The data transfer robustness is improved since the previous test in Sep 2006 • The problems on sites (FZK and TRIUMF) related to the site and ATLAS DDM software persisted for the whole test duration • Not all FTS channels are set up correctly. The FTS server in Lyon wasn’t able to manage 6 FTS channels simultaneously. • ATLAS DDM system can cope successfully with large files transfer A.Klimentov Nov 8, 2006
